The sign said "No Trespassing", but there were old war planes just setting around. Classic attractive nuisance.

I just looked at the Ontario, OR municipal airport in Google Earth. Just a couple of hangers west of the planes you shot are an F-111, F-86, P-80, and no less than a Mig-21! Quite the collection just sitting out there in the elements. I'm going to make a point of stopping in there and doing a trespassing of my own!

A Mig ? I should have poked around more. I'll be back. The winters are taking their toll. The leading edge of the F5D is showing it's wood.

I flew into Ontario a couple of years ago, and spent an hour there talking to a couple of old fellas restoring airplanes. Hell of a collection, they have the only F-111 in civilian hands, however it was a one they used for testing and never actually flew. The Migs really surprised me too. The things you find in the middle of nowhere.

Flying over that area, I thought what an awesome place to ride a bike.

Thanks. We construct steel buildings for a living, one of our good clients is a water bomber pilot, that catilina was called the canso in Canada and they were converted to water tankers for fighting forest fires. He just bought one for his own use. I can't wait to go for a ride in it. That's going to be an experience for sure doing the maneuvers for fighting fires..
